Dirr's Hardy Trees and Shrubs

An Illustrated Encyclopedia
by Michael A. Dirr

This bestselling encyclopedia, illustrated with brilliant color photographs, presents the best woody plants for cooler climates, describing both habit and details of cultivation for more than 500 species, and including some 700 additional cultivars and varieties. Dirr’s Hardy Trees and Shrubs deserves to be a part of the gardener's canon, that bookshelf of essential volumes no gardener should be without. It’s not quite as comprehensive as the same author's Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, but its 1,656 color photographs trump that quibble. Full of priceless Dirr-isms, like his observation about plastic bag build up in flowering quince branches.
